The key Fantasy Premier League assets all start for Crystal Palace against Brighton.

Wilfried Zaha (£6.7m), Martin Kelly (£4.3m) and Vicente Guaita (£5.1m) have all survived a recent wave of injuries.

Roy Hodgson is without Patrick van Aanholt (£5.5m), Joel Ward (£4.4m) and Jeffrey Schlupp (£5.5m) through injury while Mamadou Sakho (£5.0m) is serving the second of a three-match suspension.

However, Andros Townsend (£5.6m) and Gary Cahill (£4.5m) are missing from the team.

Meanwhile, Neal Maupay (£5.8m) starts up-front for Brighton while Yves Bissouma (£5.0m) gets a rare appearance in central midfield.

Crystal Palace XI: Guaita; Riedewald, Dann, Tomkins, M Kelly; McArthur, Milivojevic, Kouyaté; Zaha, Benteke, Ayew.

Brighton and Hove Albion XI: Ryan, Montoya, Webster, Dunk, Burn, Pröpper, Bissouma, Mooy, Groß, Maupay, Trossard.

    Good to go lads?

    Guaita
    Lund Rico Aurier
    KDB Son Alli Grealish
    Vardy Rashford Mousset

    4.0GK | Soyu Tomori Mane

        Jeah

    2. King Kohli
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Best Mane replacement?

      A. Moura
      B. Alli
      C. Richarlison
      D. Grealish

      Mane KDB Son Maddison Cantwell
      VAR

      Will get Salah for gw 20 or 21.

      1. Amey
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        D for me

      2. Party time
          6 years, 3 months ago

          B. Son & Alli double up

        • rdamjan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          Can`t you just bench Mane for one week?

        • Not again Shirley
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          Not sure Salah any better than mane to be honest. Yes he played advanced role last time out but that was more an exception than a rule.

          I would keep Mané.

      3. rdamjan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Opinion on this?

        Zaha & TAA -> Alli & Aurier (2FTs, 0.2 ITB after transfers)

        1. Party time
            6 years, 3 months ago

            No brainer

          • EMERGING STAR
            • 10 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            Yes

        2. EMERGING STAR
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          Only Mane from blanking teams and have 11 starters. Just save the FT?

          Gazza
          Rico Kelly Lundy Soy
          Alli Son(c) KDB Maddi
          Vardy Abraham

          Button Tomori Mane Wickam 0ITB

          1. Holmes
            • 12 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            Yep, save

          2. SAY MY NAME
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            i would sell Tomori for a playing bench player, and maybe play them over Soy this week

          3. EMBOLOFAN
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            id consider maddi to grealish

        3. nibby
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          Tammy to Rashford
          Or
          Maddison to grealish

          1. EMBOLOFAN
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            no idea why youd do the former

          2. SAY MY NAME
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            probably save with those options

        4. Jontharon
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          Henderson
          Lundstram, Rico, Kelly, Soy
          KDB, McGinn, Son
          Jiménez, Vardy, Abraham

          Button, Mane, Hayden, Taa

          1ft, 0.6 itb
          A. Mcginn > Grealish
          B. Mane > Sterling (or someone else)
          C. Save?

          1. SAY MY NAME
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            save, or take a hit and do taa+mcginn > alli + cheap defender

        5. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          Thoughts on Doherty against Norwich?

          1. SAY MY NAME
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            hopefully supplying Jimenez for one of his hat-trick goals 🙂

            1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
              • 9 Years
              6 years, 3 months ago

              Jimmy hat trick? no thanks 😉

              1. SAY MY NAME
                • 8 Years
                6 years, 3 months ago

                aww just one little hat-trick (plus a couple of assists) please 🙂

          2. rodragon
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            I'm thinking of getting him as a one week punt and then remove him the next week when I play wc

          3. EMBOLOFAN
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            cant speak for him but playing against sam byram looks quite good fun

        6. milanista10
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          A) Dendoncker to Grealish (benching TAA & Mane)
          B) TAA & Mount to Aurier & Son -4

          A or B lads?

          1. Amey
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            B

          2. SAY MY NAME
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            if it was me i'd do B as it seems the better medium term move (NB: i don't mind the odd hit)

          3. EMBOLOFAN
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            a comfortably

          4. KunDogan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            A

        7. DAVESAVES
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          Captain Poll:

          A) Son - CHE
          B) KDB - LEI
          C) Grealish - SOU
          D) Rashford - wat
          E) Vardy - mci

          1. Jontharon
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            A, because of chelseas defense

          2. SAY MY NAME
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            might punt on A

          3. fish&chips
            • 15 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            Son for me as well, could have a field day against Chelsea's defence

          4. EMBOLOFAN
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

          • 7 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          Mane + tomori to rich+ doherty
          Pulisic+tomori to grealish+doherty
          Pulisic+tomori to rich+targett
          Pulisic+taa to rich+doherty
          All for free
          I'm planning to play my wc after this so i can remove doherty and get back mane too! !!

          1. fish&chips
            • 15 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            All good options but I'd probably go with no. 2

            1. rodragon
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 3 months ago

              Thanks

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years

          • 15 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          All set for GW18?

          Pope
          Aurier, Targett, Lund,
          Son, Alli, KDB, Madds,
          Rash, Vardy, Ings

          4.0, Cantwell, Chilwell, TAA

          0 FT, 1.8 ITB

          1. EMBOLOFAN
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            id prob start cantwell over madds but im of the opinion that city arent as bad at the back as most people make out

          2. SAY MY NAME
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            i'd go chilwell first on bench, cantwell seems to be getting a few point cameos, chilwell could get an assist if not a clean sheet

            1. EMBOLOFAN
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 3 months ago

              combining this season and last 1 side has kept a cs at the etihad

              1. fish&chips
                • 15 Years
                6 years, 3 months ago

                cheers for the inputs guys

              2. SAY MY NAME
                • 8 Years
                6 years, 3 months ago

                that's why said assist chance not cs

        10. Crossologist
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          Fleck + Zaha ==> El Ghazi + James

          Thoughts?

          1. fish&chips
            • 15 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            I wouldn't be kicking Zaha out right now

          2. EMBOLOFAN
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            rather have the first two

            1. Crossologist
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 6 Years
              6 years, 3 months ago

              Yeah but having Fleck on 1 game suspension is essentially the problem with TAA and Mane out too, don't plan on losing them..just yet and Soy facing Man C is going to net me 1 point max

              1. EMBOLOFAN
                • 7 Years
                6 years, 3 months ago

                prefer it if it involves grealish

          3. SAY MY NAME
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            think Zaha is the only player of that lot that i'd be mildly interested in

          4. Holmes
            • 12 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            Nah, prefer FZ

        11. Aleksei
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          start one:

          A)Chilwell
          B)Cantwell

          1. EMBOLOFAN
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            b

          whod you play :
          a. Puli
          b. Rico

          1. EMBOLOFAN
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            a not close

        13. FOO FIGHTER
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          Those 8 points from Guaita took me from red to green arrows 🙂

        14. Eleven Hag
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          Rashord in for

          A) Jimenez
          B) Tammy

          1. EMBOLOFAN
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            no

            1. Eleven Hag
              • 8 Years
              6 years, 3 months ago

              I have resisted so far, but rashford keeps rising in price and soon I wont be able to afford him....

              do u think jimmy and tammy are better options than him??

              1. EMBOLOFAN
                • 7 Years
                6 years, 3 months ago

                yes

                1. EMBOLOFAN
                  • 7 Years
                  6 years, 3 months ago

                  jimmy plays NOR

          2. One for All
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            Would keep Jimenez against Norwich, Man Utd struggle against bottom League teams

        15. Feloh
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          Is Mane + Mount to Sterling + Martial for free appealing to your eyes???

          I have exact funds and Sterling will be a placeholder for Salah.

          1. EMBOLOFAN
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            yes

          2. Eleven Hag
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            Both sterling and martial are the ones ppl looking to get rid of

          3. Holmes
            • 12 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            As a punt it looks fine but personally I dont like the way they are performing at the moment.

            1. EMBOLOFAN
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 3 months ago

              yeah sterlings 9 goals in 16 league games (16 in 24 in all comps) is really concerning

        16. RamaJama
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          Anyone know if the lms safety score of 52 points are after hits?

          1. Holmes
            • 12 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            Yep

            1. Philip Jones's Diary
              • 9 Years
              6 years, 3 months ago

              Is there a league code for that? I've somehow missed entering it this year.

              1. Holmes
                • 12 Years
                6 years, 3 months ago

                https://www.livefpl.net/LMS

                You will get the league code here but have to cross check safety score with TM

        17. nibby
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          Need some help fellas. What would you do with these lot?

          Guaita (Button)
          Maguire Lundstrom Aurier (Soyunco TAA)
          KDB Maddison Son Alli (Cantwell)
          Maupay Tammy Vardy

          Got 1FT. Am i good to roll the FT? TIA.

          1. EMBOLOFAN
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            yes

            1. EMBOLOFAN
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 3 months ago

              altho id prob move maddison on personally

        18. FOO FIGHTER
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          The only viable way for me to get KDB in is getting rid of Abraham or Rashford. I am wondering if it ain't going to be sideways as City will not be playing Arsenal every week.

          May just continue without City but have GW18 to reassess the situation. If KDB puts in another haul playing in an advacenced role vs LEI then guess he should not be ignored.

          1. EMBOLOFAN
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            10.3 is a lot of money for an assist merchant who doesnt have a history of outperforming a (pretty unremarkable) xg

            1. Greek Flair
              • 10 Years
              6 years, 3 months ago

              You have to be joking right, you must a troll?

              1. EMBOLOFAN
                • 7 Years
                6 years, 3 months ago

                not an argument

          2. Wally banter
            • 13 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            one situation to monitor for you is kun is back, and kdb have better sync with him than any other city player

        19. HurriKane
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          Anyone else think Kane and Son will be only spurs attackers safe from rotation?

          The way spurs setup right now Eriksen can slot in for Alli while Sissoko has played in lucas position under Mou. Meanwhile No other player possess the ability to replace Son and Kane.

              The two most likely yeah. They're Spurs' best players after all.

              Probably going to get a red arrow this week but I'm sticking to my guns and keeping Liverpool trio..

              Guaita
              Dunk / Rico / Lundstram / Aurier
              Dendoncker / Maddison / Pulisic
              Abraham / Vardy / Ings

              Button / Salah / Mane / TAA

              Captain decision is interesting. Ings / Vardy right now.

                I was going to play my free hit but also sticking to my guns. Have not taken any hits either.

                1. Pinturicchio10
                    6 years, 3 months ago

                    Yeah no hits here either. Dropped Tomori for Aurier with ft. Not the greatest trade this week but going forward makes a lot of sense.

                    Who's your captain?

                      I am capping Son.

                          Good pick that Chelsea defence is poor.

                        Looks likely alright. Run after the blank is too good, not selling.

                          Mane to Spurs could be worth it. Son or Alli with much better fixtures

                          1. Pinturicchio10
                              6 years, 3 months ago

                              Kinda fecks with my plan. Involves a hit and having to use a ft to bring Mane back. Looking to bank in gw19.

                      Thoughts?

                        • 15 Years
                        6 years, 3 months ago

                        Pulisic to anyone (Alli, Grealish, Rich) is popular on here.

                      6 years, 3 months ago

                      My original plan was to bring in Alli for Salah on a FT, but as I have Aurier & Son, thinking it might be more prudent to bring in Richarlson. Chelsea are poor but it is a derby and Lampard will be expecting a response after the last game. Arsenal on the other hand are simply awful at the back and I don't think the appointment of Arteta will change that within a few days. Both have good fixtures the week after. What do you think?

                      A) Alli
                      B) Rich

                        With Ancelotti IN, I may want to wait n see how richarlson is being used

                            They appointed Ancelotti??

                                  Interesting. Nice fixture block between 22 / 26. Worth keeping an eye on.

                          Morning, 75 pts & through to next round of the cup. 🙂

                          In somewhat of a pickle for next GW. 2 FTs & £0.8m ITB.

                          Henderson
                          Lund - Kelly - Tomori
                          Zaha - Madders - KDB - Puli - Mane
                          Vardy - Kane

                          VVD on my bench also, with two others that don't play.

                          Use the FTs to shift VVD & Mane, but who for?

                            Martial + Shaw if you love a punt.

                              Was just looking at Shaw ngl. Martial, not sure given how he burned me previously. That said...

                              6 years, 3 months ago

                              What can you do with Tomori and one of your scrubs? Can you reach two starters?

                                Sadly not. I have Walker-Pieters & Wickham, ha!

                                Walker-Pieters frustrates me being there, down the line I'd want 3 Spurs.

                                I am thinking Son/Utd def.

                                    Might need to sling Van Dijk so. And Tomori. You can afford to keep Mane.

                                    Good to go. KDB, Son and Jimenez all great captaincy options. I'm on Jimmy right now because he is a fellow Latino.

                                      Yeh looking at Jimi too. Purely cause hes the most reliable & i think itll be a tight pts GW
